The DIAGRAM Center has been established by the US Department of Education (Office of Special Education Programs) to make it easier, faster, and more cost effective to create and use accessible images so that students with print disabilities have timely access to the information they need. This site has been created to bring the work of the Center to the public. Please refer to our 2012-2015 Goals to learn more about our current work.
The Center is managed by Benetech in partnership with the WGBH National Center for Accessible Media (NCAM) and the US Fund for DAISY. Benetech is a non-profit organization where the power of the human mind unites with a deep passion for social improvement to create innovative technology solutions which address unmet needs in literacy, human rights, and environmental conservation. NCAM is a non-profit R&D organization dedicated to achieving media access equality for people with disabilities. The DAISY Consortium develops, maintains and promotes international DAISY (Digital Accessible Information System) Standards. DAISY digital format assists people who, for various reasons, have challenges using regular printed media.
